1962 Gottlieb "Rack a Ball

Fun animated (pool balls line up in the head) billiards themed pinball machine. Fully restored to it's 1962 glory this beautiful (restoration completed mid January 2021) Rack a Ball plays and looks very nice. Such a great machine Gottlieb remade it in 1964 as "Bowling Queen" and again in 1969 as "Mibs".

Pinrescue has real trouble keeping quality restored pinball machines in stock many sell as soon as we list them. This year we sold out before Black Friday everyone wants fun things to do at home.
This Rack a Ball has an original very nice condition playfield the cabinet and art glass have had major touch ups and in spite of that look pretty good. Great game play as the more pool balls you make the harder the scoring gets and the more difficult it is to get the last few billiard balls into the rack.
During 1962 Billiard Hall of Fame member Luther Lassiter won the first of his five all around championships! Every chance that Luther and his fellow competitor Minnesota Fats might have played a few games on a Rack a Ball back in 1962 as they were fixtures in Pool Halls across America.

  •  Animated backglass red and white balls fill the pool rack
